Citizen pass№ 01
Future founders
Find out if you like building under pressure before you bet years on it.
PESU Venture Labs presents · Sat 10 Oct 2026
One day. One city. A live startup economy that keeps moving whether you're ready or not. Walk in, find your place in it, and see what you can build before the city closes.
01 What Venture City is
Venture City is a one-day live simulation of a startup economy. You won't sit through talks about entrepreneurship. You'll spend the day doing it, alongside up to 100 other people, in a city that changes as you play.
02 What it isn't
- A business-plan competition
- A hackathon
- A pitch competition with games bolted on
- A classroom exercise with set steps to follow
- A test with one correct answer
→ It's a city. You live in it for a day.
The rules are fixed.
The world isn't.
03 What's at stake
Real prizes. Limited seats.
Prize pool

+ goodies
Prizes go to the people and teams who make the biggest difference on the day. Winners are picked on what they actually did, not on who talked loudest.

A year of startup lessons in one day.
No lectures. You learn by doing it, under pressure, with real people across the table.

No startup experience required.
